I am a Kansas City native who returned to painting a few years ago after a 40-year hiatus. Happily, even though I wasn’t actively working on my art, my ability to view the world in colors and shapes never went away. I was able to take those observations and transfer them to my medium while maintaining the curiosity and wonder of a newcomer. A recent fascination with antique photos has lured me into portrait studies. I love the faces, the expressions, and the attitudes of these people. I also have been fortunate to find some modern photos that are equally intriguing.I have had pieces in the Overland Park Art at The Center, the “Soul and the City” show at the Hilliard Gallery, the “Faces of Kansas City” show at the Epsten Gallery, a show at RG Endres Gallery, a juried show, “Voices of the Midwest”, at Fine Line Creative Art, St. Charles, IL, the “Finding Our Voices” show at Kelwood Gallery in Baton Rouge, and the “Everything Blue” show at MVA Gallery in Bethlehem, PA.
